Manufacturer's suggested price
A folding knife with a Drop-Point blade made of high-quality D2 tool steel, prized for its wear resistance and long-lasting edge retention. The blade features a black titanium plating that reduces glare and protects the blade’s surface. The handle features an Axis Lock and G10 laminate scales, which are resistant to mechanical damage and external factors. The knife’s design allows for comfortable one-handed operation and maintains good control during both simple and more demanding tasks—from cutting lightweight materials to tasks requiring greater pressure. The slim design gives the knife a lightweight and dynamic character, facilitating precise blade control and comfortable everyday carry, whether in a pocket or on a belt.
D2 tool steel with a hardness of 57–62 HRC
The blade is made of D2 tool steel, which is characterized by high wear resistance and good edge retention. As a result, the blade maintains its cutting performance for a long time and requires less frequent sharpening, even with regular use. After heat treatment, the steel achieves a hardness of 57–62 HRC, which ensures the durability of the cutting edge and effective performance even during intensive use and when cutting more demanding materials.
Drop-point blade with a flat grind and a titanium coating
The Drop-Point blade features a durable tip, is easy to sharpen, and offers excellent cutting performance, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of tasks. The reinforced tip reduces the risk of breakage during precision work, and the gentle curve of the edge promotes a smooth cutting action. The blade is 76 mm long and 3 mm thick, ensuring rigidity while maintaining a slender profile. The blade features a flat grind, ensuring even edge convergence and easy sharpening. The blade is coated with titanium plating, which reduces glare and protects the surface from corrosion.
G10 laminate faceplates with a CarbonTex finish and a spring-loaded steel clip
The scales of the ergonomically contoured handle are made of black G10 laminate, styled to resemble CarbonTex. This material is resistant to mechanical damage and external factors, ensuring that the handle retains its properties during everyday use. The contoured design of the scales promotes a secure grip and helps maintain control over the tool while working. A spring-loaded steel clip in the tip-up position ensures comfortable everyday carry, allowing the knife to be easily attached to a belt or the edge of a pocket. The clip is mounted on the right side of the handle.
Double-sided thumb stud and Axis Lock
The knife is opened using a double-sided thumb stud, which allows for quick one-handed deployment—regardless of which hand is holding the knife. This design reduces the time needed to prepare the knife for use and is particularly useful when your other hand is occupied. When open, the blade is secured by the Axis Lock, which keeps the blade stable along its axis and allows for controlled folding of the knife once you’re done working.
